Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon to release Christmas children's book this year based on their adorable 2-year-old twins

Mariah Carey has already sold millions of albums, made a movie and judged on a reality show. Now, however, the "#Beautiful" singer is looking to get into yet another art medium... children's book publishing.

Today (Jan. 23), it was announced that Carey and her husband comedian/host Nick Cannon will be penning a holiday-themed picture book just in time for Christmas this year.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Scholastic has announced that it will be publishing Roc and Roe's Twelve Days of Christmas this winter. Aimed toward children ages 3 and up, the picture book will feature the celebrity couple's 2-year-old twins Morroccan Scott and Monroe, as they maneuver through the classic carol "The 12 Days of Christmas" with their own unique twists.

The book has yet to see an official release date, but it can (obviously) be expected for the Christmas season this year.

Roc and Roe's Twelve Days of Christmas isn't the only release Carey is eyeing for 2014. She's also gearing up to finally drop her 14th studio album The Art of Letting Go after numerous delays. Originally due out July 23, 2013, the album has since been delayed "indefinitely," though it's now penciled in for a spring 2014 release date.

Despite the foggy drop date for The Art of Letting Go, Carey has confirmed that the album's third official single will be released on Valentine's Day. The Feb. 14 track will follow the album's first two singles, "#Beautiful" (feat. Miguel) and "The Art of Letting Go."
